Short Hurricane Kick, take #2:
Alright, so I’ve got some new methods for stoping the short hurricane kick over booms. From about 1/2 screen, you can score and air reset with the crouching strong. If the shoto ends up doing a longer version of the hurricane kick, your crouching strong will simply whiff and you’ll get to crouching fierce them after cross you over.
Now, if they’re further than half screen, if doesn’t look like there is anything that can beat out all version of the hurricane kick on reaction. After landing, the shotos I’ve played ususally do a jab shoryuken, a crouching poke, or go for the throw. They’ve got some decent options here, but I think making them block the crouching forward will give you the always nice frame advantage and push them out to a more ideal range for Guile. The only problem is you risk getting hit with a reversal dp or super. Is it worth the risk? How frequently can most tournament calibur players get reversals? I suppose you could mix up whether you do a meaty crouching forward or not, if they dp you get a rh fk for free. But in the end, I feel the risk is not worth the reward. Better to let him make the mistake and react to what he does.
Edit: After doing some real world testing, I found the crouching strong to be extremely effective. I you follow up booms from outside this distance, you can put yourself back in range and score yourself an air reset. Be careful though, because if he does a rh hurricane, you might just walk into it. Additionally, the sobat kick will hit them out of any hurricane kick if they attempt it really late, allowing you to walk and work your shenanigans.
If they do get over a boom with the short hurricane though, and your outside strong range, I now believe its a good idea to mix up whether you throw the cr. forward meaty or not. If you do, you’ll beat out throw attempts, low pokes, and non-reversal srks and hurricanes. If you don’t, you can punish srks and another hurricane.
Finally, if you anticipate a short hurricane (or have really good reaction time, not usre if its possible) you can do either a jumpin towards or straight up rh to kick them in they’re head and out of the hurricane. I’ve seen Muteki do this a few times, and I’ve been succesful doing it on anticipation.
